Ms. Jackson/6th Grade World History

Dear
Parents and Guardians,

This year I am pleased to be teaching Sixth Grade Social Studies.In Sixth Grade, students will be learning
about World History.As we gain knowledge about different civilizations, we will also reflect on what we have
learned and connect it to our global community.Students will learn about different ancient civilizations dating back to
pre-history times to the Modern Age. Some topics covered (but not limited to) will be ancient world
civilizations, regional civilizations, the Renaissance, the Age of
Enlightenment and Revolution.If time
allows, we will cover at least one of the World Wars.

Students’
grades will be based on homework, mini assignments (current events reports),
and cooperative group assignments.In
addition, students will have one major written project.You will find information for the Sixth Grade
Social Studies course on the the Fifth Grade page.Go to Ms. Jackson’s Fifth Grade
class page and click the Sixth Grade History link.Please take the time, at least, each week to
check the class page to stay informed.Should you have any queries, you may contact me at my email address jacksonr@sfa-school.org.
